Look at the first picture of the thread and you see R O L E at the 7 to 8 o'clock markers being seemingly misaligned.
Now look at this photo of my VSF. It looks misaligned too right?
now, look at the third picture and you'll see a better and more straight up angle of the watch. Albeit not perfectly straight. It's much better than the first.
Now look at the VSF Starbucks straight up. That's what we look out for rehaut alignment, I would honestly not bother about any misalignment based on OP's photos.. I won't RL based on the rehaut alone.
Finally, look at my GMF rootbeer and see how much more misaligned it is, but still IMHO not worth the RL as you won't be looking at ur rehaut all day. This is still acceptable for me. What I would reject would be that the engravings completely missed the marker or already skipped the marker itself.
I'm new here as well but many senior friends have helped and guided me. Hope this will allow you to take in some knowledge and pass it on in the future. tolerances are based on individual expectations. But end of the day, we are paying peanuts compared to buying gens. Don't expect perfection......
